Don Mossi Baseball - 12 janvier 2016
Donald Lewis "Don" Mossi (born January 11, 1929) was an American major league pitcher from 1954 to 1965. He was a left-handed control pitcher whose strikeout-to-walk ratio was regularly among the league leaders (he led the league in 1961). He retired with 101 wins, 50 saves, and a career earned run average of 3.43. Mossi was given a spot in the Indians' bullpen for the 1954 season; as a fifth year professional, major league rules at the time would have forced the Indians to put him through waivers had he not been given a spot on the team. The quality of the Indians' rotation at that time â which included Early Wynn, Bob Lemon, Bob Feller, Hal Newhouser and Mike Garcia â meant that Mossi, who had always been a starter, had to be used as a reliever. His major league debut came on April 17 of that year in an 8â1 loss to the Chicago White Sox as Mossi pitched three innings and allowed one run. The first batter Mossi faced as a major leaguer was future Hall-of-Famer Nellie Fox, who reached base on an error. His first strikeout was against Sherm Lollar to end the inning. In his first season in the majors, Mossi recorded an ERA of 1.94 in 93 innings pitched as the Indians advanced to the 1954 World Series, the only World Series of Mossi's career. Although the Indians were swept in the series, Mossi performed well, pitching four innings in three games and allowing no runs. Mossi's career fielding percentage of .990 was the highest ever recorded by a pitcher when he retired.
Cleveland Indians (1954â1958)
Detroit Tigers (1959â1963)
Chicago White Sox (1964)
Kansas City Athletics (1965)
Sent him a photo and 2 cards on 29 Dec and got all back signed on 12 Jan '16
